conflict & communication
online is a multi-lingual, peer-reviewed academic journal with a trans-disciplinary
orientation. The publication languages are German and English. Short summaries
of all contributions will appear in both publication languages. The aim
of conflict & communication online is to further discussion and exchange
among researchers of different nationalities and disciplines, and by creatively
employing the special possibilities offered by the Internet to set new
quality standards.

conflict & communication online is an open access journal. Articles published in conflict & communication online are freely available to the entire global research community via conflict & communication online's website under Creative Commons Licence BY-NC-ND (Appropriate credit*, Noncommercial, NoDerivates).

While the traditional publishing model restricts access to published research in order to recoup the costs of the publication process and charges users a fee to read the content, the open access publishing model levies an article-processing charge (APC) from the authors. This APC which covers the entire cost of the publication process amounts 6,00 € plus taxes per SMP (= standard manuscript page á 1.500 characters including spaces), and is due at the acceptance of manuscripts. Submission charges are not charged.

In order to do justice to our authors' quality expectations, there will be a language editing of manuscripts by non-native-speakers, for which an additional fee of 7,50 € plus taxes per SMP will be charged.

Many authors may have the publication fees covered in full or in part by their universities. Find out more about this from the library of your university. If your library does not support the open access publishing model by covering publication costs, a reduced APC may be applicable.

conflict & communication
online will be brought out twice a year by the Berlin regener publishing
house. Half of each edition of the journal will be devoted to a focus-topic
and the other half to a variety of different contributions.
